the future father Of his people was driven in
to exile with the expressive nickname scar
trloge Prince" A year later Prince William
was back in South Germany commanding an
army semitic put down the remnants of the
Republican revolution. Then nearly ten
years passed away, and the illness of the
leigning king called him to the regency of
PRUSSIA; on the day after New Years. in
1861, he became King of Prussia. He was
now, as other men would be called at that
age, an old man of sixty-four; but tall,
handsome and erect, with only the iron gray
of his hair and beard to hint that he was
veteran OF the Napoleonic wars. Won Moltke
who had won some credit in the service of
the Sultan of Turkey, was his chief of the
general staff; but Bismarck, having worked
up through the diplomatic grades, was vet
ambassador at st. Petersburg, and very far
from participation in the government of
the new. king. No better example was ever
afforded of the work man may accomplish
in his old age than is afforded by the history
OF the achievements Of Kaiser William since
his sixty-fourth year. Prussia, by patient
effort in times Of peace. by energetic and

made the prevailing German State Austria
was humbled in 1866, and France in 1870.
His armies entered the same Paris that he
had entered as boy with the armies Of his
father more than half century before; and
from Versailles, the seat of the French
kings, he proclaimed himself the Emperor of
a reunited German people. To-day that en-
pire is the strongest power in Europe
Emperor William has been an actor in its
history since his royal mother, the Prussian
armies dispersed, the Prussian dominion dis
membered, fled with him from the power of
Napoleon. To his own people, and to the
foreign princes who have gone to Berlin to
greet him, he is an object of wonder as
well as reverence. The years of his reign
are barely half so many as the years of
Queen Victoria's; but perhaps for this very
reason he has been with the German people
more and knows Them better His harsh
ness and failings they have forgotten, and
the festivities of this week are testimonials
of nothing but good will to the venerable

or William, and it was observed as the birth
day OF no sovereign was ever observed be-

many years; in the lives of few have so
many yicissitudes been crowded as into the
ninety years of the life of William Frederick

Nearly a generation passed, and the boy

The lower board of the City Council of
Biddeford is composed of twenty-one mem
bers. In the present Council eleven of this
number are Democrats and ten Republicans.
When it met on Monday evening to elect
subordinate city officers one Democrat was
too drunk to be in his seat and there.were
ten Republicans on the floor and nine Dem
ocrats, the other Democrat being in the
chair. The motion was made by a Republi-
can to go into joint convention with the al
dermen. This was followed by a motion TO
adjourn by Democrat. Nine Democrats
voted in favor Of the latter motion and ten
Republicans against it, The President.
however, declared that the motion was car
ried. When called upon to explain how he
arrived at this conclusion he declared that
there was tie-ten Democrats for the mo-
ton and ten Republicans against-and that
ne had voted IL off. 1t was pointed ont to
him that there were but nine Democrats on
the floor, and that if he voted with them to
make the tie and then voted off the tie he
must have voted twice. He stuck to his de-
cision, however, that the motion had been
carried, and the Democrats left the hall.

The Boston d Providence railroad has no
intention Of contesting the claims Of the
persons injured at the Forest Hills accident
provided they are reasonable, but will
promptly settle them. The train hands will
be treated the same as the passengers. The

killed and ffty-two injured, cost the Eastern
railroad $4,000. There were less killed at
the Forest Hills disaster, but more injured,

latter accident more costly than the one.at
